Martial Arts, Self Defense and a Whole Lot More.
Just a quick reminder of my “One against Many” contest: If you want to enter, you have to do so before tomorrow. Go here for all the details.
I’m working on the review for this video right now and will post it as soon as it’s done. Also, I talked to the author, Branimir Tudjan, this weekend and he’s agreed to do an interview on this product. Pretty cool.
If there are any specific questions you’d like me to ask him, post them in the comments section and I’ll consider them.
Stay tuned.

In Part one, there was an ambush gone wrong. In this one, it looks more like a streetfight to me.
Check it out:
Look at it from a self defense perspective and there’s a lesson for us from the world of natural predators:
It reminds me of street fights where two guys are arguing until another one joins the fun with fists swinging. The one left standing then uses every opportunity he gets to get in a free kick or punch. In those cases, getting away is usually the better option. The white and brown cat should have done that right away… :-)
Cool music from Predator BTW.
Props to Anne for this find.

On an e-mail list I’m on, there was a discussion about what your every day carry for self defense is. This is a topic of debate that you routinely find on the Internet. There are usually two camps:
The funny thing on the list was this: a professional soldier, one who is active in a war zone and has seen the elephant, got his rant on about civilians who walk around trying to imitate an armory. I think he has a point. It’s fashionable these days to talk about carrying multiple knives and guns plus ammo because you might:
As such, I don’t think these statements are wrong per se. They seem logical and have a ring of common sense to them. But that still doesn’t mean they are right. Let’s take a look.
Some basic assumptions.
Before I move on, I’ll make a couple of basic assumptions about you, dear reader. I admit up front, they will be off for some of you. If that’s the case, don’t get upset about what I’ll write next. But for the most of you, I’m willing to bet my Metallica vinyl record collection that I’m not too far off. Here goes: [Read more…]
It’s been a while so I figured it’s about time for another contest:
I’m giving away one copy of “One Against Many” by Branimir Tudjan to a lucky winner here. This instructional video covers strategies to defend yourself against multiple opponents. I’ll do a review later on too so stay tuned for that one as well.
How do you enter this contest?
Easy, get your free membership account here and make sure to fill out your email address correctly. This is free, no charge, nada, nothing. And you get a bunch of free videos, an E-book and my members-only newsletter too. So I think you can say it’s a pretty sweet deal, regardless if you win or not.
If you already have a membership account, then you don’t have to do anything. You’re already eligible for this and all future contests.
What’s the deadline?
You need to enter before Tuesday, November 30th, 2010. After that, you can still make your free membership account and automatically enroll for future contests and giveaways. But this one here will already have passed you by…
Anything else that’s important?
YES! Make sure you enter a valid email address, one where you can check your spam filters. And then check your mail once the deadline of Nov 30 has passed. If you’ve won, you’ll receive a mail by me telling you so and asking where to ship the video.
Make your free account now and good luck to you!
In Part 1 of “How to Shadowbox“, I covered the basic reasons for this type of training. Part Two gave you some examples of how to apply them. But that still doesn’t tell you how to begin shadowboxing. There are so many different things you can do, it can be difficult to find a starting point. Especially if you’re new to MMA, muay Thai, boxing or whatever art you practice. As you know by now, I like a structured, progressive approach in my training. So here’s an example of a shadowboxing workout.
First, a couple of things:
OK, here’s the actual work out: [Read more…]
